All the old knives

All the old knives / Olen Steinhauer 294 pgs.

Celia and Henry haven't seen each other for over 5 years when they worked together in Vienna, and were lovers, and spies.  Someone has drudged up an old mission that went horribly wrong. Over 120 hostages killed in a brutal terrorist attack.  It seems like there was a mole at work but who is it?  There weren't that many people in the office.  Celia and Henry meet for dinner to "discuss".  Both seem to know that he is investigating her but she has a few tricks up her sleeve even after leaving the business to become a suburban housewife.  Once again Steinhauer does a great job of making us care about the characters, the situation and the inevitable reveal at the end that clears up a lot of questions. Will I even give you a hint?  No way.  Read it yourself and enjoy it as much as I did.
